For those of you who are having trouble hearing in the sanctuary, please know that we are working on the issue and hope to have it resolved soon. The sound quality is better in the lower transepts and in the back of the sanctuary. Assistive listening devices are available in the AV booth.

Although communion is normally held on the first Sunday of the month, we’ve decided to postpone this practice at the present time. For the safety of our congregation, we are taking small steps in the easing of restrictions related to Covid. 

At the conclusion of the service, you are invited to join us outside for lemonade and fellowship.

Restrooms are available downstairs in the Reception Room via the stairs near the door you entered. If you need accessibility assistance, please see an usher. 
 
Masks are now optional in the sanctuary.
 
Please note that the 11am worship service will be livestreamed to several social media platforms and your image may appear on the livestream video.
